"True Peace has been taken from the world,"
Listen to the devil's chant.
All hell is loose,
Offering life at a scant.
The younger generation lives what is shown,
While truth lies behind bars.
"Be who you want to be"
Has become a slogan with scars.
Hatred is the theme everyone sings,
Skin tone is now a curse.
Beauty placed upon a scale—
The less fortunate are treated worse.
In this dark world, we have eyes but do not see,
Ears but do not hear.
Peace cries out to be released,
To embrace us close and near.
With demons whispering within our ears,
We silence her voice like lightning,
Allowing the devil to lead us,
Trembling and frightened.
Yet hope remains in our hearts,
If we choose to seek the light.
Together, we can mend what's broken,
And reclaim peace from the night
